A Beach Bears Christmas

« prev 118 in pool next »

Today is the celebration of Las Posadas, or The Inns, in much of Latin America.

As is my wont, I am posting a Christmas Carol sung in Spanish, that is almost unknown in the United States.

This one is Campana Sobre Campana, or Bell Over Bell. Also known as the Bells of Bethlehem, or Campanas de Belén.

Translation:

Bell above Bell
And above that bell, another one
Take a look at the window
You'll see the Baby in his cradle

Bethlehem, O Bells of Bethlehem!
That the angels are playing
What news do you bring to me?

Having picked up your herd
Where do you go, little shepherd?
I'm going to take to the gate
Cheese, Butter and Wine

Bethlehem, O Bells of Bethlehem!
That the angels are playing
What news do you bring to me?

Bell above Bell
And above that bell, another two
Take a look at the window
You'll see the baby God there

Bethlehem, O Bells of Bethlehem!
That the angels are playing
What news do you bring to me?

Having picked up your herd
Where do you go, little shepherd?
I'm going to take to the gate
Cheese, Butter and Wine

Bethlehem, O Bells of Bethlehem!
That the angels are playing
What news do you bring to me?
